As you can see by that file, it is simple SQL authentication. The index.php file calls it and then the mod_login module searches the database for credentials and displays appropriate HTML based on results. What I am trying to do is automatically log a user in just based on an external link. The link will call the joomla index.php file, and the mod_login module will determine if [based on the variables passed in the link], the user will be logged in or simply presented with an option to register.

I know that others will be able to see username/password combinations, but all it means for us in this situation is that we control the access that is granted based on inbound external links.

I am looking for a solution that will fall right around line 73 and search the SQL database for credentials, and redirect the window if the proper credentials are given. If they are not given, then the user is presented with the default login/register form found after line 73.

// autologin if a user
if (isset($_GET['autologin']) && (strcasecmp($_GET['autologin'], 'yes') === 0) {
print_r($_GET); // Show the entire GET array. Hopefully all the data is here.

The Login form is live and can be found at [http://www.educationforliberty.com/altapps/index.php]
The index.php file calls the handler [mod_login.php] and then the mod_login module searches the database for credentials and displays appropriate HTML based on results.

I have attempted to do this with the javascript onLoad submit form function, but for some reason, the page needs to be manually refreshed before the automatic login is complete. It VERY slow and bulky - and not the completely automatic solution I was looking for.

and you will see what I mean. The login form completely dissapears in HTML.Normally if a user attempts to log in with incorrect credentials an alert pops up. And if a user is correctly logged in, an alert does pop up that says, "you have sucessfully logged in."
